As a businessman, we need to know how to overcome difficulties, dare to dream. Breakthrough, creative and extraordinary thinking along with faith have bring successful. I believe in my “forcast” ability and try my best with my chosen path.

For example in 2002, the shrimp on sand which people thought was unrealistic, impossible, with that bold idea, we harvest 15 tons/ha/season and stunned every people, even experts on aquaculture. That was an unmatched productivity in Quang Ngai. Until now, this model has been widely spread to farmers, help them receive a relatively stable income.

–Your start up path seem without failure, however, people easily beset by hubris, how can you wake up your inner potential?

The Government is aggressively innovating, we can’t keep old thinking of exploiting natural resources or cheap labor. Vietnam needs to develop, reach a new level. Therefore, companies need catch up to regional and international standards, be dynamic to swim in the ocean.

Thien Tan has well prepared for this opportunity. Specific, recently we have proposed to invest in expanding Chu Lai airport with CAPEX nearly $ 1 billion. Thien Tan also signed agreements for solar energy projects with First Solar (US) worth $ 35 millions for the first solar power plant in Vietnam and a $ 2 billion solar power plant in Ninh Thuan, capacity 1000MW

“Stand on the shoulders of giants” is the shortest way for Vietnam’s companies breakthrough and integrate with international. We have good partner for cooperate, accompany as a commitment for success. The signing agreements for Solar power projects with First Solar (US) on the occasion of POTUS Barrack Obama to Vietnam recently is the fruits of absolute trust in business relationships that been tested over a long period.

Thien Tan also actively selected modern technologies to enhance economic efficiency and environmental protection. Germany friends said, the sunlight absorbed technology and convert into electricity of First Solar is alien technology, but I want to bring that “alien” things to the Earth, serve people. The ability of each business is limited, but potential, intelligence, human creativity is infinity. The development of technology is changing the mode of manufacture and cleared away the traditional barriers, which small companies can grow faster, have more advantages. Principles of big guys dominate in business is being replaced by creativity and professionalism. Grasp the trend of integration, the trend of World’s science to organizational, administration effective strategic vision… are the urgent requirement, vital to the companies. Thien Tan is trying to follow this direction as a strong commitment to restructuring activities, to further improve business efficiency and successful participation in global value chains.
